I've run into a problem with my currently installed instance of Windows 10 and none of the automated recovery tools have helped. I have an ISO of the OS and can create a new instance in Parallels but what I would rather do is re-install the OS in the existing instance so that I don't have to re-install existing applications. I've scanned through some of the existing Forum responses but haven't found one that addresses this issue.
Please advise.

Hello, could you clarify please, would you like to repair your current Windows OS?
 
Thanks for reaching out, but the issue is moot at this point. I simply restored a previously backed up copy from a clone I created a few months back. In the meantime I had tried various restore approaches. What I was attempting to do is restore the corrupted OS without affecting the installed apps and other data. After hours of frustration during which times I thanked the heavens I'm a Mac OS guy, I remembered the clone and 15 minutes later I was back in business. Of course, since the Windows version hadn't been updated in awhile I had to sit through the multiple updates and restarts but finally got everything to a steady state. Creating a new clone tonight!!!
